| - I've heard many people rave about this place so i decided to drive 30mins out to check it out. First, if you like authentic asian food, get the Japanese Soft Tofu with golden mushroom and pork (from the 'asian' menu).
Wonton Soup (3.5): many yelpers raved about the wonton soup here so i had to get it. the broth. The broth was better than other asian restaurants but it tasted like water with some soy sauce. Now, the part where i know why people love it is because for once, there's actually substantial meat in the wonton and it's NOT just wonton and soup. there's cabbage, scallions, etc.. it was actually your typical chinese soup. Given all that though... it wasn't an authentic wonton soup that I used to get back in Taiwan.
Japanese Soft Tofu with Golden Mushroom and Pork in Oyster Sauce (4): I got this off the 'asian only' menu and i cannot tell you how much I appreciate chinese restaurants that have japanese soft tofu (i usually call them egg tofu). the only other place in cleveland that I know has this tofu is Wonton Gourmet's Jade Tofu (a MUST TRY). Anyway, i loved this dish. It was a bit salty and not entirely authentic tasting but it was worth getting. i'll be back for it.
Twice Cooked Pork (3): This is a very authentic dish back in Taiwan and sadly, hunan solon didn't make it well. Don't get me wrong, if you don't know how it should taste like, you will love it. But if you know what it should taste like, you'll find hunan solon's too sweet and the pork is sliced wrong. Twice cooked pork should not be ground pork but slices of pork. Either way, the flavors were there... it just wasn't twice cooked pork.
